We are so proud to announce that we have been voted the ‘Best Clinic’ according to the UK’s respected ‘Safety in Beauty Campaign Diamond Awards’, which took place in London’s prestigious Langham Hotel last week. These national awards were launched in 2013 by Antonia Mariconda (Author, International Speaker and Presenter) to recognise the significant contributions made by organisations, brands and individuals to improve safety standards in the aesthetics industry.

There was some stiff competition for this particular award, including a number of London’s Harley Street clinics and some established national brands with multiple locations. The judging panel of industry experts awarded us the winners and we’re delighted!

Juvéderm’s newest product is coming to Good Skin Days this month!

Volite is an innovative injectable treatment designed to improve skin quality for up to 9 months. This is not a dermal filler, it’s a skin conditioning Hyaluronic acid (HA) gel. Volite is injected into the middle layers of the dermis across many sites to nourish it from the inside out. Volite is suitable for all ages and skin types.

At home micro needling is the newest ‘must have’ treatment for younger, healthier looking skin. Across the media, everywhere you look there is a beauty editor, model or beauty blogger raving about micro needling.

What is Micro Needling?

The product we use at our clinic for micro needling is Genuine Dermaroller™. This is a sterile medical device, which contains hundreds of micro-needles. The Dermaroller is rolled over the surface of the skin, and the micro-needles penetrate the dermis (the second layer of tissue which lies between the Epidermis and the Hypodermis) which is the layer that contains the collagen and elastin properties. The body responds by creating a healing process, enhancing the production of collagen and elastin within the skin, regenerating it and improving its appearance.

In our first blog of 2017, we look at one of the most common early signs of ageing – crow’s feet. We’ll explain how they happen, and how we can treat them effectively…

What are Crow’s Feet?
Crow’s feet are the small fine lines and wrinkles that appear around the outer edge of the eyes. They’re sometimes called laughter lines or character lines. People generally start developing them in their late twenties and they tend to deepen over time. [Read more…]

iS Clinical Youth Eye Complex has an instant tightening effect on the skin and combats common signs of ageing around the eye such as dehydration, fine lines and loss of elasticity. This eye cream is one of a kind, as it offers both instant and long term benefits.

Patients who have facial thread veins removed at our clinic are often surprised by how easy and quick the treatment is. They seem to expect that removal of spider veins is a complex or painful procedure, and are pleasantly surprised when it’s not. In this blog we’ll look at the basics of Laser Facial Thread Vein Treatment and how you could benefit from it.

What are facial thread veins?

Thread veins are tiny blood vessels that present on the skin’s surface. On the face they’re most commonly found on or around the nose and cheeks. The veins are usually red in colour but can also be purple or blue.

Why are people not aware that they can have facial thread veins removed?

A lot of our patients have been to see their GPs and have been given no advice of how to treat them, as it’s not something the NHS actively offers. The advice many patients are given seems to be “there are private providers that offer treatment, so Google it”.

Another reason is that it’s not marketed as much by private clinics as the demand is not the same as other laser treatments such as hair removal and tattoo removal. This is strange as a large percentage of the UK population do suffer from facial thread veins but due to the lack of NHS coverage they simply continue with them.

It really isn’t a case of one method for all – there are many ways in which lip filler can be used to change the shape of your lips. Today we talk to Jayne Taylor and Caroline Hill, two of our Registered Nurse Practitioners about the differences in what can be achieved and why every patient is an individual.

Before your first treatment, you will have a free consultation where we will discuss at length your particular concerns and what you would like to achieve with lip filler. [Read more…]

In my time at Good Skin Days, I have seen lip fillers go from being a subtle treatment, popular with our more mature customers, to a treatment that is becoming more and more popular with young people wanting a glamorous look. In this blog I will explain why this treatment is not to be taken lightly.

Unrealistic comparisons?

We have had a number of young people visit the clinic with a photo of Kylie Jenner. Our job is to give them the facts.

The age of people seeking injectable treatments has dropped significantly, particularly people looking for lip fillers. There is no doubt, that the representation of celebrities with what are commonly known as OTT (over the top) lips is contributing to this upsurge. When we meet people who are looking to achieve this look, it is important that we present people with the facts, not only about the treatment but about the images that they are seeing in the media.

The New Year is often seen as a time to try something new and exciting. In this blog I’ll outline the importance of realistic expectations and a professional plan in achieving your goal. [Read more…]
